I doubt you'd learn anything. As far as taper is concerned, I believe the image is just an opaque stream of bytes. If there's something in the image's content that's killing taper -- and that seems pretty farfetched! -- it'll be in the compressed byte stream as it is in the holding disk. A problem in the uncompressed image would affect the lower-level restore tool (restore, gtar, etc.), but as far as Amanda itself is concerned, the only effect I can imagine would be on index generation, since that depends on the lower-level restorer. But indexing shouldn't come into play during amflush. -- | | /\ |-_|/ > Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.
